Hirshfield directs the System Human Interaction with NIRS and EEG (SHINE) Lab at the University of Colorado. She is also on the leadership team for the NSF AI Institute on Student AI Teaming (iSAT), where she directs human-computer interaction (HCI) research focused on the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI Partners to support group collaboration in classrooms. Hirshfield is also PI on a Multi-University Research Initiative through AFOSR that focuses on supporting individuals and teams to maintain cognitive security in both high and low information density environments. Hirshfield’s research explores human-centered AI approaches to support human-agent teams. An area of focus is on the use of non-invasive neurophysiological measurement (e.g., fNIRS, EEG, eyetracking, heartrate) to passively classify users’ social, cognitive, and affective states. In particular, Hirshfield has extensive experience using neurophysiological measurement to model states relating to trust, team cohesion, negative affect, and cognitive load.
